In an interview with Globo, Ricardo Salles refers to Mourão as "president".
Environment Minister Ricardo Salles, whose responsibilities at the head of the ministry have been reduced since Vice President General Hamilton Mourão took over the Amazon Council, made a slip of the tongue when he referred to the military officer as "president."
